On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

He is now come to his journey's end. He had longed to see Rome, but, when he comes there, he is delivered, with other prisoners, to the captain of the guard, and can see no more of Rome than he will permit him.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

This privilege was allowed in the case of the better class of prisoners, not accused of any flagrant offense, on finding security--which in Paul's case would not be difficult among the Christians.
